Asylum seekers don’t have a right of illegal entry. Must have fleed by a direct route and show good cause for illegal entry

You have to play your cards badly to be deported from Sweden, much less serve two years in prison.

What on Earth are skilled refugees? Queue jumpers? Refugees are fleeing persecution.

You cannot criticise Trump and the Pacific solution to boat people coming to Australia at the same time? Both Trump and Amnesty International agree that certain developing countries are not very nice places to go to and the people there are rather rough and intolerant of outsiders.

Did @Greens @NZGreens @SenSanders denounce the wet feet, dry feet policy applied to Cuban refugees?

Asked about three specific Cuba policies — the Cuban Adjustment Act; wet-foot, dry-foot; and the immigration status of Cuban nationals convicted of state and federal crimes — Sanders said he didn’t know enough about them to opine.
Why no boat people via PNG? Why from Indonesia?

The northernmost tip of Australia is 5 km from Papua New Guinea. Instead, boat people take off from Indonesia in leaky boats too unseaworthy to get to where they are going, much less be turn backed, to land on Christmas Island which is an offshore territory. A strong swimmer could get to the State of Queensland from Papua New Guinea on a good day. A decent paddle boat would do the job.
If the PNG authorities tolerated people smuggling, their relationship with Australia would be jeopardised. On the other hand, there is plenty of votes at the ballot box in Indonesia from sticking it to Australia. Little wonder that a substantial part of the Pacific solution to illegal maritime arrivals by boat people is bribing Indonesian authorities to crack down on people smuggling.
.@Greens policy would have meant many more drownings of boat people

The most recent policy of the Australian Greens drops the above ideas about an open border but has other weird things like a skilled refugee visa. Very odd for a social justice policy. Obviously all well-founded fears of persecution are not created equal. The university educated deserve more protection. Good luck assessing a claim for asylum within 30 days, much less an identity check.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
